Winning pointer who left his Newbury bumper run well behind when winning 15-runner novice at Huntingdon (15.8f) on hurdles debut 26 days ago, quickening clear 2 out. Sure to go on to better things.

Showed a good turn of foot when making a winning bumper debut at Market Rasen in February. Outclassed under a penalty in a better race at Cheltenham 8 months on but should have a future over jumps.

Scopey 5-y-o who showed plenty in bumpers, runner-up at Fakenham on final outing, despite seeming ill-at-ease on the track. Very much considered on hurdle debut.

€20,000 3-y-o, Dubai Destination gelding who showed a bit under a patient ride when fourth in a novice at Fakenham on hurdling debut. Plenty of improvement to find but longer trip will suit.

Ran easily his best race over hurdles when fourth of 12 in Uttoxeter novice (15.8f) 23 days ago, despite not looking the finished article. Better to come now stepping up in trip.

Robin Des Champs gelding. Dam ran twice over hurdles. Successful both completed starts in Irish points, including last time (Mar 8). Market likely to prove best guide on Rules bow.

Modest form only start in bumpers for Nicky Henderson and well held both outings over hurdles for new yard. Handicaps presumably up after this.

Forecasts

Prince Escalus (1/2), Fantastikas (4/1), Animal (17/2), Witness Protection (12/1), Master Templar (18/1), Hawk Wind (20/1), Welsh Rarebit (50/1), Movethechains (50/1), New Moon (100/1), White Turf (200/1), Mawlood (200/1), Simple Words (250/1)

Verdict

PRINCE ESCALUS quickened clear nicely from a subsequent winner at Huntingdon last month, and looks sure to go on to better things, so he should prove capable of defying a penalty. Animal and Fantastikas are a pair of interesting newcomers to this sphere having shown clear promise in bumpers.
